Is there a "better" way to store your trousers?

I go with a felt hang-over bar. Not sure if it is the best, but its the best I have found.

My only concern with clamp style hangers is that leaving pants hanging for long periods of time could cause lighter fabrics to stretch?

I hang them from the cuffs for 24 hours, with a piece of cloth between the clamps and the trouser fabric so there's no marks. The extra weight seems to make the fabric recover faster. Then I hang them on a trouser bar.

Clamping pant hangers- is there any risk of these causing pants to stretch over time? The thought of hanging pants upside down and getting extremely straight, wrinkle-free looks is very, very appealing! But would gravity have a deleterious effect over time and cause lengthening/stretching? Have you experienced this at all? Thanks! post construction cleaning 30a

I don't believe trousers can stretch this way. They take more of a beating as they are worn. Hanging them from the bottom (cuffs) causes the wrinkles to get out easier, and is the best way to keep trousers IMHO

Bar hangers for me and the Savile Row fold. I bought mine form a generic hangers website and not paid a fortune for them, they work great :)
